Issue - meetings

The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer – Finance which provided details of the training plan (2024/25) for the Pensions Committee and Pension Board of the North East Scotland Pension Fund.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)      approve the travel of members to attend external training opportunities, as set out in the main report;

(b)      approve the revised Training Policy (as per Appendix 1); and

(c)      note the requirement for Members to have completed the Pensions Regulator online training and the Hymans online training in line with the Training Policy.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note that Members should advise the NESPF team of their attendance at any training opportunities so that this could be recorded;

(ii)       in relation to the CIPFA Knowledge and Skills Framework, to note that officers would use this to create a survey for Members to allow them to test their existing knowledge; and

(iii)      to approve the recommendations.
